| For General Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/ML.12.3.40. Herewith a copy of Olley's report on American cars for 1940. You will note amongst other things that they use .025 material for petrol tanks. I do not think we should go lower than this on our new tanks. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} [Signature] | ||
